Can. Cause oil platform still need electricity mah (UPS system, electrical generation, transmission and distribution, maintenance, lighting, relay protection, lightning protection, motor etc)

Well think about it...male are less fussy than female (not all btw cause I know some female hardcore offshore goer but mostly). Also, let say a female were to go offshore to a platform with all males (maybe at that one time).

Well, unless you are an IT guy or accountant, then pretty much you NEED to go offshore sooner or later or no promotion/bonus for you. One woman in Miri Office (O&G) got transfer to KL office (not O&G related) because she failed her sea survival test. I mean how do you become an engineer not knowing what the structure you working on looks like!? Anyway ur gf no need to worry because nowadays female can go offshore no problem (if willing) and earn more than you. Just the female/male ratio may be a bit low.

Intrumentation, Automation, Control system etc. or the more general stuff like supervising sand blasting activity or procurement if you are desperate.

Again how do work on something if you don't see it urself? I dont get it. U sure or not this lady don't have any health complication or is already aging?

By law u need to before starting any engineering work. But I dont really see it much applied in O&G. But its good to get one. But once u start apply u need to wait at least 6 months to get one. lol

Actually not that they really care, depending on what job u subscribe, cause oil and gas industries are normally understaffed due to high turnover. From the way i see it, if u are sound enough and have relatively good background, ur hired. Even if u just have bachelor in accounting, you will still get to work as engineer (well more like supervisor to manual labour) Cause not many people want to go offshore often and the pay, though looks lucrative to some, some say the work is harder & riskier than the amount of pay itself. They say money is good, but truth is unless u are the big boss yourself or higher ranker, u not gonna earn much.

Can......from cleaner/laundry boy or chef at offshore platform to helicopter pilot sending people there. U hav to be more specific a bit.

Nigeria:

Pay: Very High
Personal Security: Armored Vechicles with personal bodyguard and free bullet proof vest
living standard: 5 star hotel? Don't know.
working condition: u get to carry gun, yeah! Just as long u don't stick ur head out any vehicle windows.

What I heard anyway, don't know if it's true.

Friday half day? No lah. Saturday and Sunday off only. The half day probably apply to muslim only. But that's in Sarawak, what I heard from a friend of mine.

Turnover rate high? I heard all O&G companies have that.

..................what do u want exactly? Finance graduate but dont want finance.......then what? Process? Mechanical? Or offshore chef if u can cook? Any other clue or elaborate so we may give more appropriate answer?

I'm guessing something along: Salesman equivalent except u must have at least some engineering knowledge to answer what client wants regarding the product being offered cause these products are simply not ordinary household items which u can just get away by saying "I'm just selling the product, u have to ask the guy who invented this" or "more info in XXX.com".

Actually mostly the other way around. U travel to the clients office and do presentation. Or is it another title?

That's a big 'IF"

Now where do u hear that from? There's still the deep sea offshore to explore. From what I heard, they are using the current existing platforms as hub for deepwater exploration. Hence, the maintenance.

Added on November 3, 2009, 4:06 pmWhen the oil runs dry, the whole world economy will probably collapse. No where to run dude. Have u actually seen planes running on renewable energy? Or a cargo ship at that? Or that there're trucks or vehicles travelling long distances on solar panel alone (even if there are, how many people could afford)? As of now, oil and gas still play big significant role.

It still need gas to run....u know that right?

I have seen discovery channel. I have learn what I can about renewable energy via courses, articles and documentaries. I have seen car running from hydrogen to nuclear. Even the attempt to harness solar power and transmit them wirelessly to earth from space. Frankly it is still very far in the future for a renewable energy to actually be commercially produced. Problem with renewable energy is the low amount of energy output from them. Take hydrogen car for example. Sure, there are already hydrogen pump station for it. But considering the amount of people driving it and the power it takes to separate hydrogen and oxygen via solar power......very low. Until I see a functioning consumer plane or a cargo ship that actually runs on this clean energy, I would have my doubt on its impact on economy globally.

Hybrid is actually a simple concept that has been thought out long before. Only problem is the battery design which usually like laptop battery doesnt last long, heavy and to replace em actually consume more money that saving gas in the long run. In the end it still depends on gas to run and recharge the battery. Even a fully electric car concept is pointless if the charging source came from a petroleum power plant. Have anyone thought of the toxic effect from the battery itself if it is to be thrown?

"Biogas typically refers to a gas produced by the biological breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen." So where does this organic matter came from? Shits? Food wastage? How much amount of wastage do we need to obtain sufficient enough power to power the whole world? Sure biogas is cheap now, but in the future once demand soar, price increase, source drop and in the end, pretty much the same as petrol.

Geothermal, wave, wind? I think they forgot hydro. Sure it is clean, but consider the amount of deforestation, land, wild habitat destruction and money needed respective to the amount of energy produced.

But not to say it's impossible since there is already a 'sport' car fully powered by a battery, but lets face it, it would take another half a century for renewable energy to be fully technologically utilized. Until then we still need petrol.

This is true. But here's the thing. Oil will still play a major role in producing energy. Even if the deepwater projects gonna cost a bomb, people will still demand for it regardless. It's basically an essential commodities. Heck when oil break >$100 per barrel mark, people still paying for it albeit the lower usage to save cost. As world population grows so is gas consumption, so I don't think they would worry about the profit generated if they ever need to dig into deeper water in the near future. In the end, expensive or not, surely they will be forced to explore deepwater alternative sooner or later.

U r thinking too much. If the petrol runs out, the whole world will be in crisis (finance, food, transport, everything), not just oil industry. And like we said, there're still the deepwater solution to explore, so there's still "hope". If there's really no more petroleum here, u can apply to go to middle east, lol.

Depending on company and position u are working. Lowest to highest I heard is between RM50 to RM200 per day (could be higher for higher rankers)
